There are pretty-lucinations and then there are really scarey-lucinations. I have the "nothing to get worked up about" type from time to time. They are short and I've learned not to let them worry me. I'm usually able to figure out that they aren't heard by other people around me, so my reality testing is fairly in tact.

When I get the ugly type, that is when I run for my Seroquel, and don't mind telling my pdoc about them.

But antipsychotics render me totally useless, so I don't take them unless the water is really hot, in which case I'm pickled either way.

Hope that helps
